For
Fighting-game players who like tactile indie worlds
Worth noticing
Its four fighters have kitchen-tool moves, from Maude’s floor-sweeping rolling pin to Peri’s timed cake-tin block.

Field notes

The character lineup gives each baker a distinct kitchen-tool move: Maude sweeps the floor with a rolling pin, Bram attacks with oven mitts, Peri blocks with a cake tin, and Ottmar uses a factory spatula. The story starts at Hollowell’s Loaf Fair, where Maude’s sourdough starter—called Gran—goes missing. The page also describes stage hazards that push fighters as the floor contracts.
